213 Nate Salsbury D

The Nate Salsbury Room

Room 213

Nathan Salsbury, son of Nathan and Rebecca Welch Salsbury, was born in Freeport, Illinois. Left an orphan, he lived with his stepfather, Jedutha Fuller. On the outbreak of the Civil War, he enlisted in the ranks of the Union Army. He served in the 89th and 59th Illinois regiments in the Army of the Cumberland and was wounded three times. After discharge, Salsbury became an actor and wrote several plays, including “Patchwork” and “On the Trail, or, Money and Misery.” In 1875 he organized Salsbury’s Troubadours, a successful acting company, and in 1884 joined Buffalo Bill as co-owner of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show.

nate-salsbury-picSalsbury married Rachel Samuels, a young actress, in 1887. The couple had four children, one of whom was Rebecca Salsbury James who became a famous artist. Nate stated that when he wrote his book on Cody, its title was going to be “Sixteen Years in Hell with Buffalo Bill.” Cody, was in his opinion, a dishonest drunkard whose only loyalty was to his incompetent cronies. He discussed Buffalo Bill’s drinking problem several times throughout the various correspondence.
In Cody’s first letter to Salsbury, probably written in 1884, he vowed “that after this you will never see me under the influence of liquor,” although he added, “I may have to take two or three drinks today to brace up.” In a 1907 letter to Rachel Salsbury, Jack Crawford asserted that Buffalo Bill was “not a Square dealer” and that “Ned Buntline created the most selfish and brutal faker…ever perpetrated on the American People.” Nate Salsbury, who had lasted 16 years with Cody, died on December 24, 1902 in Long Branch, New Jersey.

    • 5 star review  I can't begin to say enough about the staff at the hotel. They went way above and beyond for me during my stay. They even came in an hour early every morning to prepare breakfast for just me and a colleague during our stay because we had to be at work by 6 am. And the rooms are exquisitely renovated. It has an old time charm that you just have to experience. Can't wait to come back. Just wish the bar was operational.
